Victory…
in Illinois? This time not because of a court decision but because of
the tireless efforts of the supporters of self defense. YOU.

On
the first Sunday of 2013, after a surprise session of the Judiciary
committee who sought to meet with only 24 hours notice, their plans of
sneaking in a ban of virtually 50% of semiautomatic rifles and as high
as 80% of semiautomatic handguns, not to mention “high capacity”
magazines went up in smoke.

You can watch as the Chairwoman admits to the deluge of phone calls, emails and faxes:

Massive gun groups didn’t do that. YOU did that.

Gun
rights groups like the NRA are massive behemoths, that if given time,
can be very effective. They work on a different level however.
Virtually no one person can sound the alarm on a Saturday afternoon, or
even with a full days notice at the NRA. Smaller groups like the GOA or
SAF, while amazingly powerful, especially at their victories in the
courts, move faster but not at the speed of YOU.

Saturday the call
went out on social media, like a trumpet blast. The ISRA (Illinois
State Rifle Association), one of the first groups to give notice,
blasted out to it’s members the news, a surprise session. From there,
word spread via facebook and twitter, from person to person, email to
email, text message to text message.

Ladies and
Gentlemen, the fight for our Freedoms is something we must do ourselves.
Each and every one of us. As often as it takes.

The road we
have ahead of us could likely be a long one. We need to prepare
ourselves and have the stamina to call, even though we have called a
dozen times prior. To send that fiftieth fax, the one hundredth email.
Every single time an assault on our freedoms and our liberty is on the
line.

YOU can make a difference, YOU are the only one who can. I
submit now, that if in a state like Illinois we can fight off those who
would strip us of our freedoms, we can do it nationwide and without
compromise… but not without YOU.

I will be keeping up on pending
legislation and the fight for our rights as my priority for the time
being, I invite you to join me at www.facebook.com/gunreviews as we fight, together, to preserve our remaining Rights.
